Craft Beer Asia is here in Mumbai, India and sampling some local craft beers at a few establishments. Although the selection is limited, the quality is fantastic so far. Check back next week for our full recap on Mumbai’s craft beer scene.

Below is the brewer, Varsha, at The Barking Deer in Mumbai. Taken last night. The Barking Deer is the city’s first microbrewery. Will be back for the launch of “Going Bananas Hefeweizen” on Friday the 23rd.

Shaheen, I went to both those spots! Woodside was out of the IPA but I found the Gateway IPA on tap at The Blue Frog, right next door to the Barking Deer. Overall a positive experience on the very young Craft Beer Scene in Mumbai.
